I-Hsin Chung is a computer scientist with a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Maryland, College Park, awarded in 2004. Since joining IBM Research, his research has focused on critical aspects such as performance modeling, tuning, and advanced tools in the field of computer science.
Dr. Chung's research expertise primarily resides within the realm of system architecture, with a strong emphasis on cloud computing and high-performance computing. In his current role, he is leading efforts to co-design future computer infrastructure tailored for strategic application workloads, such as machine learning and cloud computing.
His contributions span a wide array of domains within system architecture, encompassing system software development, in-depth performance analysis, tool development, and modeling. These efforts are predominantly centered on IBM platforms, including Vela, CORAL, POWER, mainframe Z Systems, and the Blue Gene systems.
Dr. Chung's dedication to the field extends beyond the boundaries of IBM Research, as he also shares his knowledge and expertise as an adjunct professor at the Courant Institute, NYU.
Computers have never been more important to the world. At IBM Research, we’re designing new systems that provide flexible, secure computing environments — from bits to neurons and qubits. We’re working on innovations in hybrid cloud infrastructure, operating systems, and software. Our goal is to create technologies that improve performance, security, and ease of use across hybrid and multi-cloud computing. We want to enable clients to dynamically compose best-of-breed services and applications freely and frictionlessly across distributed computing environments and accelerate data-driven innovations.
